This feature looks great. Unfortunately, I keep getting an error message on the Login dialog > Test Connection. It continually says, "Project Server URL seems to be invalid." I tried both internal and external URL, which both work fine in my web browser on the same machine, within my network. Please help!
I fixed half the problem, by doing as follows:
Go into IIS > Select the PWA site > Properties > Directory Security > Authentication and access control > Edit > Place a check next to \’Enable anonymous access\’. Leave the default Username and Password (I am not sure where it got that username and Password info.) > OK
Now, Outlook successfully checks the Project server, but Authentication fails. I cannot figure out how to get the Outlook Add-in to pass on the correct Windows Account credentials. The add-in displays \’Your credentials were not accepted by the server. Contact your admininstrator…\’ By the way, note that the dialog itself misspells the word, administrator 🙂
I tried by setting up the correct Windows Account credentials info in Vista\’s User Password Manager, for my PWA site. But the Add-in is apparently disregarding those credentials.
Does anyone know how I can control the credentials used by the where the Outlook Project Add-in? Please assist!
Notes:
Project Server 2007 is running on Windows Server 2003.
Workstation = Vista Ultimate that is NOT connected to my domain.
Instead, the add-in displays \’Your credentials were not accepted by the server. Contact your admininstrator…\’ By the way, note that the dialog itself misspells the word, administrator 🙂
